Single Mother gets the piracy case against her dropped; now she's going after the RIAA for conspiracy

After being sued by the music industry for stealing songs and winning the case's dismissal, Andersen is now taking the record industry to court. Her case is aimed at exposing investigative practices that are controversial and may be illegal, according to the lawsuit. One company hired by the record industry, she claims, snoops through people's computers, uncovering private files and photos, even though it has no legal right to do so. A different industry-backed company uses tactics similar to those of debt collectors, pressuring people to pay thousands of dollars in settlements even before any wrongdoing is proven. In Andersen's case, the industry's Settlement Support Center said that unless she paid $4,000 to $5,000 immediately, it would "ruin her financially," the suit alleges.

It's. About. Fucking. Time.

Biggest shitbag lawyer/politician this state's seen in a long time, and thankfully he looks like he's done. Sad thing is he'll get away with most of the shit he's pulled in recent months, but at least he's on the way out.

See-ya Scumbag!

Of course the phone had a GPS, but the thief's stupidity made it unnecessary to track him.

I absolutely love this clip - add Gonz and Mike Vallely together and you had my style, and pretty much my trick set.

If there wasn't snow on the ground, I would be tempted to shred around for an hour or two right now...
